What is the Alchemist's hero's journey?
The steps I have plotted out for the journey are somewhat different than what you've listed here, so I've given you what I do have in my own plans for the novel. I'll dig out my novel and see if I can help you with those that are missing.
Call to Adventure
✹ The hero receives a call to leave his or her normal life and face adventure.From The Alchemist: Santiago has a recurring dream about treasure in the Egyptian pyramids.
Threshold
✹The hero leaves the familiar behind and enters the unknown.From The Alchemist: Santiago sells his flock of sheep and takes a boat to Tangier inAfrica, leaving his shepherd life behind.
Abyss
Revelation
Transformation
Atonement
✹ The hero succeeds his or her master/father figure.From The Alchemist: Santiago meets the alchemist. An answer that works is that Santiago is able to transform himself into the wind.

The hero's journey is much more complicated than at first appears. The best source is kalbashir.com ; Kal has excellent insight on the subject.
